I do not know why i find your vids so enjoyable but i do. Even living across the other side of the world and have nothing in common with what you do.... You are very entertaining. Please don't stop.
Your straight stick for increasing bow force can be planned thinner to reduce the pull and make it more linear from start to finish. For arrows, you need a simple dowel jig. Who has more fun than Ryan! Salute from Canada.
I have property in the U.P. I don't know how far from you. I have ruined two point-well points trying to drive them into the ground. I have the same problem with rocks. I was able to dig a hole for an outhouse. I think I'm going to give it one more try by digging as far down as I can and remove any rocks I encounter. They seem to be closer to the surface. A well will be a game changer at my property. Love your channel.
Good luck on that sand point! I'm up in NE WI and we ended up having to hand dig 10 feet just to get past the rocks. After that, it was not too bad. Used a log tripod with a pulley to lift and slam a modified post pounder (added weight) and it took about 8 hours to go 28 feet, but we got water!
This is great stuff to know how to, if shtf and you don't have an endless supply of firepower then here comes the bows and arrows for obtaining food. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I love all of your buildings and crazy things that you build and YES I know you are not teaching us anything! I am a shooter too and have always wondered how you go about making your own long bow. I have never fetched an arrow, now I have see it done. Keep up the content and yes, I have watched all of them.
I feel I am not your typical subscriber. 66 year old grandmother who loves your wit and humor. I started watching because I love the idea of chainsaw milling and you do a wonderful job without all the expensive equipment. I laugh through most of your videos. Keep it up and good job. Been watching for about 9 months
Dude, try a generator house. Put it far away from your cabin and run a wire with remote start/stop from your cabin. This will help in promoting laziness and habits associated with laziness.
Ryan do the bow & arrow that way on the cabin !!! Looks awesome !!! And sleep in the cabin for long it is to be cooler now in this part of the woods !!! In August it is going to be Beastly HOTTER same with September also !!! Then It will hit us with ICEY temps for the winter time !!!
I am glad you didn't do a vanilla ice impression. When you gonna make a bee hive from hollow logs? It's not hard to swarm trap bees. I made a 3/4 pvc bow and got a doe with it.
I'm consistently high and right on my compound bow lol. I need to dial in the sight more but I just aim low and left haha. My recurve is 35lb draw and I don't usually have a lot of time to aim it because I am still building up my strength but I do pretty well.
I was feeling a little 'Unsafe' watching the 2 of you shoot over both shoulders, then it dawned on me that I only watching from the video playing on my computer screen. What a sigh of relief! LOL!! You went out on a limb to make a bow to shoot in 1 day....do I have blood on my face?! LOL -looks like fun!
I wouldn't make an electric cord with two male ends. It won't "end" up well. Just hard wire the one end to the cabin with a male on the end for the gen connection. With the soil being as wet as it seems in your area if the plug ever came loose... Fried worm!
Hi Ryan, I was wondering if you are planning on building some more stuff? These guns and bow builds aren't my cup of tea. I'd like to see you build a shelter for the lumber you make with the chainsaw so it can dry and you don't have to tarp it. How about an outdoor kitchen that's covered and you can utilize the space for a lot of things besides cooking. Anyways thanks for all the interesting content!
The builds are fun, the U P was great for us too. Next build, make an air BNB on corner edge of property. It's b'n a while but think we drive past your area on way to Marquette
It’s called entertainment…. If your on here watching RYAN your a fan of him and his craftsmanship on all things … never limit yourself to education from others who can do things you’ve never even tried …. I’m a fan … I like the person I’m watching … do you have any friends? Like really good friends or friend …. And you watch and listen …. Sometimes others can show you something different than what your interests are …. This is your life .. if your a cry baby and your little feelings get hurt because Ryan doesn’t run his channel the way you want … maybe you should start your own channel and move on …. The kids today are such cry babies … I want , I want , do this , do that , give me , give me ….. wow … I need a drink 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you just learned how to make a bow and how to some fletching on arrows …. Come on dude … Com down
if i was going to make a bow buddy using cedar i would do it in cedar strips like they use for canoes . but first i would get a recurve bow barrow one if you dont have one and make a jig . then take your cedar strips while there still green and put them in the jig . let them dry in the jig and they will hold there form . kinda the same way as steaming the wood when its already dry . you can make the strips any thickness you want it wont really matter but im going to guess that there is a sweet spot for thickness as well i dont know i never made a bow . but i always wanted to . i always thought iron wood would be great as a bow . i also think you should build a tower for your water tanks and a small building for them to set in to keep the light off them . the higher you get them off the ground the more water pressure you get . i dont remember the lbs per ft but you get them 30 feet in the air and you should have pretty good water pressure . if you cant run a well if it dont work out . there is always water catchment off your roofs from rain . i do hope the well works out .
I call those rubber string grippers "jelly rolls" and they are the difference between shooting and not for me. A few years ago I smashed the tip of my right index finger with a 20lbs sledge. Got between the handle and a wedge while I was setting the wedge. Gravity was basically all it took with that bit of stupid. The bone at the very tip of my finger was in seven pieces.
I have property in northern Michigan about 45 minutes south of the bridge. I am thinking about putting in a Sandpoint well. It's all sand where I am, but most of the wells in the area are 110 feet deep. 😢. I think (Ryan) Ringworm has a better chance of hitting water.
Don't make a double male ext cord. Big safety hazard just leave the romex coming out of cabin with a male plug to go to generator. Great work on the bow making. Take care
What's the smoke situation? Are any of the northern MI fires affecting you? Here in the UP it's the driest most can remember for June. The weather does seem very popular w/the skeeters.
Usually we used haybails for setting our targets on but since ur not in farm country they might be hard to find. that must be a compound bow at 35 our day they were maybe 20 lb bows for target practice.
Sounds like Ryan is making a suicide cable to male ends on a electric cable is sketchy you should just wire the one end of you extension cord in a junction box
I do not know why i find your vids so enjoyable but i do. Even living across the other side of the world and have nothing in common with what you do.... You are very entertaining. Please don't stop.
Saturday morning dose of the worm is a must before I get my day started!
Congratulations to Surviving Ringworm for reaching 70K subscribers! Thanks for the video Ryan!

A well?! That's exciting!

As usual, you have successfully educated as well as entertained us . Cheers
Nice to get out to the worm woods for a few minutes this morning. Watching these has got me looking for property out here 😮.
I guess getting you to look for a property is exactly the point.
Wow I honestly thought it was a joke or be junk
I’m super impressed
Spread some seeds take a turkey duck or chicken
Love all the hard work

Good morning thank you for putting one out today. I need to watch video.
Gutters on all your buildings should add quite a bit of extra water till you can see your way to drill a well
Great job on your bow and arrow!!
Dude, try a generator house. Put it far away from your cabin and run a wire with remote start/stop from your cabin. This will help in promoting laziness and habits associated with laziness.
When Tit/do put your glove on, I almost aspirated the Almond M&M I had in my mouth 😂
Nice bow! I’ve never built a serious, huntable bow, but it’s on the ‘to do someday’ list. Great video.
Go to a carpet store and get a long scrap, like 5 x 10. Double it over and it makes a great back stop for the arrows. Paper targets will work on that.
LOL on the windshield comment!! 👍🇨🇦😎
Awesome bow build fellow Michiganders!
P.S. You inspired me to buy a Granberg mill. I can't wait to get after it and see how it works!
Wow Great numbers Ryan👍
Ryan do the bow & arrow that way on the cabin !!! Looks awesome !!! And sleep in the cabin for long it is to be cooler now in this part of the woods !!! In August it is going to be Beastly HOTTER same with September also !!! Then It will hit us with ICEY temps for the winter time !!!
This brought back memories of making bows & arrows as a kid. They were not as good as yours. But, they could sling an arrow. Fun video...
😊
Nice bow job … I think those arrows were moving pretty fast 🏆👍👍😁
Awesome shooting guys,
I am glad you didn't do a vanilla ice impression. When you gonna make a bee hive from hollow logs? It's not hard to swarm trap bees. I made a 3/4 pvc bow and got a doe with it.
This is really funny. Thanks for the laughs.
Good mornin..👋😎👍

Am I the only one that blinked when the arrow came by my face? 😂

I also find the channel is getting boring with all the guns and bows etc I followed the channel for the interesting chainsaw builds I'm out of here
There are those of us that just like whatever he is doing. There is more to life then just building. He is sharing what makes him happy.
The builds are fun, the U P was great for us too. Next build, make an air BNB on corner edge of property. It's b'n a while but think we drive past your area on way to Marquette
Off grid of course, I've downloaded all you've posted, but that would be the best cabin series yet,

Can't wait for the water well...I've driven 3 points in my life...just go for it...
That bow would get you food for sure.

Great video Ryan I get a kick out of Tito 👍❤️🇺🇸
Love ya guys your awesome keep the videos coming ❤️❤️👍🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

A coworker asked me to throwaway his glove for him. It had the tip of his finger in it. ⛑️
Are you going to put some kind of hand railings on your steps or what👍🇺🇸❤️🙏
That handmade bow would look nice above your front door or on your door...
I have property in northern Michigan about 45 minutes south of the bridge. I am thinking about putting in a Sandpoint well. It's all sand where I am, but most of the wells in the area are 110 feet deep. 😢. I think (Ryan) Ringworm has a better chance of hitting water.
Time to relax.
Don't make a double male ext cord. Big safety hazard just leave the romex coming out of cabin with a male plug to go to generator. Great work on the bow making. Take care
You should build a small "generator house" for your generator..
I love that Mesabi Range Special arrowhead!
Mastodons beware
Fun stuff
….next Saturday!!
What's the smoke situation? Are any of the northern MI fires affecting you? Here in the UP it's the driest most can remember for June. The weather does seem very popular w/the skeeters.
Primitive bow building interesting
For an arrow head how about using old shaver blades. Lightweight, sharp and you can cut the point on it. I think it might work.
Usually we used haybails for setting our targets on but since ur not in farm country they might be hard to find. that must be a compound bow at 35 our day they were maybe 20 lb bows for target practice.
Awesome awesome worm,
Excellent
Dental floss to tie the arrowhead on….?
Im told they used to carve the old long bows out of heart wood.
Literally going from tree to bow
Sounds like Ryan is making a suicide cable to male ends on a electric cable is sketchy you should just wire the one end of you extension cord in a junction box
Well drilling well drilling well drilling well drilling
plz build a doghouse for the generator... you can insulate it on the sides to make it more quiet
You can get really deep for the no spend military
Penobscot bow from the Northern Indian tribes
You could shoot a Almond m&m from a hundred yards with that.
dave whipple can help...watch bush radical for a handpump well...u can do it and do it well...
Next Saturday, about the same time. Cowboys and Indians, It's a play date.🤠
❤❤❤
If I got the history right But the spin is for competition
Could you 3D print an arrowhead?
You are thinking of putting in a well. A TH-cam channel called Bushradical just posted a how to do a well and generally his stuff is good.
Your fiddleheads look like bracken ferns. Most people eat ostrich fern fiddleheads. I know I do.
Wood got dry out
CO detector , can't hurt if the thing will be close.
Hi Ryan... youtube "Bushradical" Hand pump wells .... Deep Dive. He also lives in the UP... luck with the well... love your builds 😅
Im with Tito on the glove situation. I will absolutely not, under no circumstance, use 2nd hand gloves.
Just leave the bugs in your salad they just add protein
This type of bow is called a Penobscot bow, after the Penobscot indians who made them.
Use dental floss and glue
Might not work for you. It is only good to 25 feet and not good with rocks.
"Any old stick can make a bow, but it takes a damn good stick to make an arrow..."👍 💪🪓🇦🇺
😅
Obsidian is a sought after knapping material.
Let's go Ryan
I can’t believe you don’t have any hardwood at your property for bow making..
